Fault-tolerant time-triggered communication relies on the synchronization of local clocks. The startup problem is the problem of reaching a sufficient degree of synchronization a...
In this paper, we consider a distributed system that consists of a group of teams of worker robots that rely on physical robot messengers for the communication between the teams. ...
We describe a mechanism for the interpretation of arguments, which can cope with noisy conditions in terms of wording, beliefs and argument structure. This is achieved through the...
This paper presents a software architecture for hardware fault tolerance based on loosely-synchronized, redundant virtual machines (LSRVM). LSRVM will provide high levels of relia...
The rapid increase in network bandwidth from mega bits per second to giga bits per second and potentially to tera bits per second, is making it increasingly difficult to carry out...
